Longitudinal Assessment of Nasopharyngeal Biomarkers Post-COVID-19: Unveiling Persistent Markers and Severity Correlations.

ABSTRACT: SARS-CoV-19 infection provokes a variety of symptoms; most patients present mild/moderate symptoms, whereas a small proportion of patients progress to severe illness with multiorgan failure accompanied by metabolic disturbances requiring ICU-level care. Given the importance of the disease, researchers focused on identifying severity-associated biomarkers in infected patients as well as markers associated with patients suffering long-COVID. However, little is known about the presence of biomarkers that remain a few years after SARS-CoV-2 infection once the patients fully recover of the symptoms. In this study, we evaluated the presence of persistent biomarkers in the nasopharyngeal tract two years after SARS-Cov-2 infection in fully asymptomatic patients, taking into account the severity of
